Last day at the pool

Yesterday when the kids came home from school we took them to yerushalayim.  They had been asking to go to the kotel for a while and we told them we would go when Eric came back from his trip.  We did a ton of walking and had a really nice time with them!!  Talia wrote a whole megillah (all in Hebrew, of course) to sick in the kotel.  She wouldn’t let me read it.  Ben wrote “no more bad guys” in English.  I helped him spell it out but he wrote it all himself.  He also thought of it himself.  Too funny.

We went out to dinner at the Mamilla Mall.  The weather was beautiful.  We sat outside.  I think Keren ate more than all of us put together. She just kept on going.  It was so funny.  We didn’t get home until after 8 and the kids went straight to bed.

Today was hot again. The days have been brutal here lately.  This morning we stayed in and played around the house.  Eric took Ben to the eye doctor to look at this thing that he’s had on his eye.  It is finally going away but our friend said he thought it needed antibiotics so we kept the appointment today and took him.  Actually, we took him yesterday b/c I made a mistake and then had to take him again today for his actual appointment.  What the hell is wrong with me?  Anyway, the doctor said it’s a sty and it might permanently leave a mark under his eye b/c it was a bad one.  So sad. I hope it goes away completely.

In the afternoon we were all kind of bored and there was nothing to do so I took the kids to the pool.  Half the Yishuv was there.  It was so nice. Eric BBQ’d before we left so we could take dinner with us.  The kids swam and then ate and then swam some more.  It was a lot of fun and a nice cool ending to a hot and sleepy day.
